Beautiful Honeymoon in Rome

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Rome, Italy and it was absolutely the most romantic two weeks of my life. Of course some people say this was partly due to the fact that it was my honeymoon and Kyle and I are so much in love that anywhere we went would be incredibly romantic, but Rome is a city without Rival. It is amazing in its beauty, architecture, art and culture and also has the feel of being [...]

Double-Decker Bombay

I took a joyride around South Bombay in an open top Double-Decker bus. I’ve never done that before, but I thought I do the touristy thing since I was at one of the Bombay India Hotels a  a tourist and see what it was like. I was meeting a bunch of my friends at the IPL Bar Crawl to watch the cricket match that would be playing on the big screen.  The entry into the club was nominal, but the [...]

Fruit Trees of Singapore

A reason I enjoy getting out of Singapore and driving in the countryside of Malaysia is that I can see tons of fruit trees growing in the compounds of people’s homes. Recently, I made a trip to Kukup, it’s a fishing town on the South-Western tip of the state of Johor. It was the season for rambutan and I saw many trees fruiting by the roadside. I also saw may roadside fruit stalls which reminded me of Singapore in the [...]

Like the Bangkok Business Hotels, they offer for the American here on business a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Some are even putting [...]

Flowering in Singapore

I’ve been in Singapore for about two weeks now and no one told me about the beauty of the flowering Sea Apple trees. I’ve seen trees flowering in the East Coast of Bedok, a city near Little India and along Beach Road and Holland Village. I wonder if they have been flowering elsewhere. My trip to Singapore is a business trip which hardly allowed for free time to find out just how far into the country and along the coastline [...]
